In the Liu Mansion, Qiu Du and Qiu Hua lay flat in the guest room.
Qiu Shi was using a thin thread to sew up the horrific wound between Qiu Mu's abdomen.
Next to him, Qiu Di is holding a porcelain bowl. The bowl has been filled with medicinal powder poured from several small bottles. At this moment, there are three paper charms covering it, which are burning slowly. The paper ash has seeped into the liquid, and the water surface is gurgling. Rotating, forming a dark green color like moss.
Qiushi took the bowl of talisman water, took a clean brush, stirred the viscous liquid, and brushed it on the centipede-shaped wound layer by layer.
The skin around the wound was pale after soaking, making the dark green liquid particularly eye-catching.
Guan Luoyang leaned against the doorframe and watched the scene in front of him with a subtle expression.
Although he knew that magic existed in this world, it must be really effective for these Taoist priests to do this, but spraying such dirty water directly on the newly sutured wound was still a bit hard for him to accept visually.
When there was only half of the talisman water left in the bowl, Qiu Shi lifted the wounded man's head and drank it directly. His lips were dyed green.
After covering his junior brother with a soft silk quilt, Qiushi straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to turn around, his feet stumbled and he almost fell.
Qiudi quickly reached out her hand to support him.
Qiu Shi had been holding on in the old house for most of the day. He was mentally exhausted. After being rescued, he swallowed a bottle of pills and immediately brought his two junior brothers to the Liu Mansion to remove their clothes and treat them.
After being busy for more than half an hour, he was almost reaching his limit.
"Fortunately, you brought enough medicine, but it's a pity that Junior Brother Qiuhua's broken arm was attached to the monkey ghost and the bone marrow was necrotic. It can no longer be reconnected. It can't be reconnected. Alas..."
Qiu Shi's voice became lower and lower, and he leaned against Qiu Di, letting out a slight snore.
Qiudi helped him lie down on the bed.
The three Taoist priests, one injured and two seriously injured, all fell asleep. Qiudi quietly closed the door and followed Guan Luoyang outside.
"How is the injury on your shoulder?" Guan Luoyang asked with concern.
Qiu Di pressed his shoulder and said: "That is my own magic sword. It is pure and calm, not contaminated with evil spirits. Although it penetrated through the past, the wound is not big and there are no sequelae. With external application of pills, it will be cured in three or four days." I can resume action.”
"It's just that I'm a little worried about Master and Uncle..."
The characteristics of Master Luo and Monkey Officer Tang Zhi are too obvious. Although Qiu Di is relatively young in the Zhenwu Temple, he also knows their origins. They were all notorious figures among the water pirates in the Five Prefectures.
At that time, the army was encircled and chased by the fleet. Only a few remnants of this gang were left. They were hunted overseas and disappeared for a long time. Unexpectedly, they appeared this time and actually dared to take the initiative to set up a trap against Fengzhao Zhenwu Temple. Apparently they had saved up again. Power means making a comeback.
So, as important figures who summoned warlocks from various provinces to participate in the war in the past, Jiuying and Jiuhe must be a thorn in the side of this group of people.
Guan Luoyang said: "Didn't you mention the paper crane transmission technique before? You said that you are not accomplished enough to chase the auras of your two teachers. So, among your senior brothers, are there any others who have this ability? ?”
Qiu Di shook his head: "Among our senior brothers, the eldest brother is the best at the paper crane transmission technique, but he can only transmit messages to the Zhenwu Temple from various places. Among the people I know, only Jiu Uncle He can send a message to anyone within three hundred miles on the premise of knowing the birth date."
Guan Luoyang said: "Then we have to wait. It's hard to say for Taoist Jiuhe, but Taoist Jiuying has a clear destination. Please send a letter to the commander-in-chief's house. If you inquire, you should be able to know that he has a destination." Nothing happened.”
Qiu Di had no better idea, and said: "I have looked through the bodies of those evil sorcerers, and there are no valuable clues. However, their bodies are all contaminated by evil spirits, and we cannot leave them alone."
"Especially the monkey official Tang Zhi. After he died, those monkey ghosts died and a little bit of pure evil energy returned to the body. I'm afraid that within three days, the hair and nails will grow, the canine teeth will protrude, and A sign of corpse transformation.”
Guan Luoyang said: "Then burn it?"
Qiudi said: "Zhao Qianniu and Wa Qing can be burned directly. Before burning, you can ask someone from the Liu family to bear witness and receive the reward. The other three corpses must be brought back to the Zhenwu Temple to clear away the grievances first. Otherwise, when the fire burns and evil air flows, the people nearby may suffer from nightmares and suffer from serious illnesses."
Guan Luoyang nodded silently, gaining a deeper understanding of the dangers of these evil sorcerers.
Although in a head-on fight, these few people were only at the level of a master boxer. The old man who was hacked to death first was not even a master boxer, but the master boxer used his sword and spear clearly. How could he be so sinister like them? He actually died. It can cause harm to the world.
Early the next morning, people from the Liu Mansion sent the reward. After taking Qiudi's medicine, Mrs. Liu was in great spirits and went out in person to express her gratitude.
Qiu Di used the Liu family's channel to ask Chengyin Prefecture to forward a letter to inquire about the capital commander's office, indicating that when he replied to the letter, it would be sent directly to Zhenwu Temple.
Later, Guan Luoyang and the others declined the suggestion to stay here for a long time, and only asked Liu Mansion to prepare a few carriages.
The corpses were stuffed into a carriage, and Qiu Mu and Qiu Hua each lay in a carriage.
Especially since Qiu Mu can't stand the bumps very much now, Qiu Shi spread several quilts in his carriage and pasted a quiet and calming charm on each of the eight corners of the carriage, which can be retrieved during the movement. Quietly, sit on a boat, carriage, or horse, as if you were on flat ground.
It was only about an hour's journey from Liu Mansion back to Zhenwu Temple, but when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that seven or eight sedan chairs and four carriages had stopped in front of the stone steps.
There are also some magnificent soft sedan chairs, which are made of lotus flowers tied with silk and decorated inside and outside the gauze tent, or seats are placed on the backs of large buffaloes, and the backs of the chairs are engraved with cranes, Tai Chi, koi, auspicious clouds, etc.
Many monks and Taoists dressed in different costumes were waiting quietly around these Dharma masters.
However, these people were very polite and did not block the path leading to the stone steps.
Guan Luoyang's carriage stopped in front of the stone steps, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
A young Taoist priest took the lead in shaking the whisk and bowed his head.
Everyone around them saluted one after another, and Qiu Shi and Qiu Di also got off the carriage to return the salute.
Guan Luoyang jumped down and whispered: "Who are these people?"
Qiu Di's lips moved slightly, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "They are all members of the sect with real means. However, the ones who stayed at the bottom of the mountain are the junior followers. The rightful masters should all have gone up the mountain."
While he was talking, a Taoist priest came down from the mountain and hurriedly came in front of him. He was about thirty years old, with a thick black short beard and clear eyes.
"Elder brother, Qiudi, you are finally back."
Qiu Shi said: "Qiu Liang, what's going on?"
There was a hint of anxiety on Qiu Liang's face, and he said: "We just came back a few mornings, and before we finished the porridge, seniors from all walks of life arrived. They said they were coming to see Master and Uncle to discuss the fifteenth day of next month. Matters related to the Jade Urn Dajiao and the Obon Dharma Ceremony."
